Somebody feel free to put a lid on me if this is relatively impossible:
Has anybody messed around with making the system use the raid as an expansion of the flash ram by changing the way the base system expands onto the flash ram from the .tgz file? ...(the goal of this is that more of the filesystem would be persistent between boots)
Or simply increasing the actual flash ram chip?
Or changing the system to simply ignore what is on the flash ram, and boot from the raid?
It would be way cool if this were possible, because it seems like we could then put more robust linux distros, or at least maybe a compiler (yeah, right!) on our boxes. I say a compiler as an example, because then it would be a whole lot easier to try making new programs for the n2100, than to cross-compile on a different machine (am I saying that right?).
At the very least, it would make the n2100 easier to tinker with, since the directory structure could be a bit more normal with more space to live in... without all the symlinks, etc.
I have the feeling this is just way beyond what is possible, or that I might just be totally wrong, but I thought I'd ask.
